Radiohead After some good, old-fashioned hip-hop, I sauntered over to
the grass to watch Radiohead from a distance. Rumors had been
flying all day that Thom Yorke had lost his voice and
Radiohead had pulled out unannounced. The names I heard thrown
around as replacements were mostly the Beastie Boys and David
Bowie -neither was true. Yorke's voice was damaged but it
didn't come through in the singing until the very end of the
set. When speaking, he sounded croaky, keeping his voice below
a whisper. It sounded like a good set. Despite expelling my
weight in sweat, a great first day.
